ETHIOPIA

It is not the body we look at, but the work it carries

An episode from the series BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

Synopsis

Among the Karo and Hamar peoples, body painting precedes celebrations, mourning or gatherings; it expresses the mood of the moment.

Among the Surma, we meet young women who explain why and how they choose to wear or not wear a labret.

Here, beauty is shaped through dialogue and exchange.
